From the mean height (area) of the vitamin E peaks of the sample solution determine the concentration of the sample solution in μg/ml (calculated as α-tocopherol acetate) by reference to the calibration graph (5.6.1.2 or 5.6.2.2).

The vitamin E content w in mg/kg of the sample is given by the following formula:

w=500×c×V2V1×m [mg/kg]

in which:

c
  • vitamin E concentration (as α-tocopherol acetate) of the sample solution (5.4) in μg/ml

  • V1
  • volume of sample solution (5.4), in ml

  • V2
  • volume of aliquot taken in (5.4), in ml

  • m
  • weight of the test portion in g
